Easter Office Sunday.

*UPDATE* Cell Phone's Dead- LONG LIVE MY iPhone!

Hey all,

After years of shouting curses at my phone/much verbal abuse, it finally tuckered out last night. *(Sunday night)*

Its body may have given out, but its soul lives on.-* In my new Ultra-Hip iPhone *

I still have the same phone number.

I promise to not check my email all the time while you are talking to me.

Seein' Red

Went back to Lucky Cat yesterday to get in some drawin'. I'm relatively happy with these three.

However, it was way way way too crowded--and their "Tribute" to Stalinism theme included them denying my friend Britt of a Diet Coke.

!!! !!! !!!

These are for whoever's reading this. These are for you. You deserve it.

Cold Turkey

Illustrations for Perdue completed around Christmastime.

Boobie traps

Checked out this laid back drawing class at this bar Lucky Cat in 'Billyburg yesterday afternoon.
Really enjoyed the model and her burlesque boobie traps gettup. It was initially supposed to be "a tribute to Bowie," so some good music was playing as well.
I'm psyched about going back.

Teenage Space Ship

My buddy John put together this pretty kickass silkscreened book called "Teenage Space Ship," featuring a number of illustrators (myself included) and artists from B-more, Philly, CT and New York.

They were printed in a limited run of 49, so I figured I'd post a few images.






My bong-castle.

The Devil and Meryl Stebel

Train

People going places on the LIRR.

The guy on the top right is my favorite. He always sat with those huge headphones on from the early 80's and was furiously pounding away at some kind of math problem like the world depended on it. Maybe it did. Spooky.

Very much reminded me of Robert's character in Proof.

Physically Impossible

Pretty sure this is a physical impossibility.

Björk revised

Björk, done a few years ago, but I finally finallllly blew up those twin birds on the bottom left. I think it helps enormously. Haven't painted in a while- I would really like to do more work like this....

Doctors

Professors from vintage yearbooks who could be convincing doctors.

Perveness

Something pervy I drew back in September.

Big Fish & the Shit Heads

Stopped by my favorite ADD lumberjack's (Mr. Jeff Fisher) class Sunday afternoon/night and did some figure drawing. Haven't had a male model in some time in Jeff's class, at least one that didn't have rotting toenails (Dennis), so it was a welcome change. Cracked out a few, but above's the only one that really turned out. Some kind of figure on top of figure thing. It was great to see what everyone was up to artistically.

On a lesser note, Jeff now refers to most everyone as "shit head."
My absence has caused a shift in name calling.

Snakes on a plain piece of paper

..I'm overly satisfied with the title of this post.

Party in progress

A work in progress. Way too digital right now- need to get some textures up in there. But still- I'm psyched about the girl tats. Inspiring me to design my own....

Freud, Rough Drawings for Museum of Sex, etc.

Mostly some sketches for Museum of Sex that I like and have no real place.
So now they are here in the blogosphere.
Including those gravity defying zebra print pasties.

Blogosphere, Communication Arts Annual, Museum of Sex

So now I have a blog.

My real motivation for starting this is to make good use of the word "blogosphere."

I will also be posting illustrations, and trying to regain literacy skills.

First up, illustrations I did on a poster for the Museum of Sex, featured in this year's Communication Arts Design Annual.
